Thickness not quoted, but given that it is labelled for Brook Smith (riveted) construction, it will be 1/32" (0.8mm).
Or for something thicker than 1/32" plywood, a wide range of limewood strip sizes is available from model boat suppliers. See for example:
https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/lime_strip.html
Including 4mm x 1.5mm, 4mm x 2mm, etc., for 4mm/ft scale crossing timbers:
In fact 4mm x 2mm is exactly to scale for both width and thickness for 4mm/ft scale.
Other model boatbuilding suppliers may be worth a google.
Limewood is a soft easily worked wood (similar/same wood as Basswood). Strips are planed rather than laser-cut, so the dimensions might not be spot-on. But an FDM-printed timbering fret could be adjusted to fit.
